How do I convert a VM from VMWare fusion to ESX?

5,233

Install VmWare Convertor on it. Make sure that your vm can ping esx host. The converter will convert the machine and make it as an esx vm for you.

As for storage... depends on your enviroment. Without knowing your specific can't really help you all that much.

As for what you should do. What do you mean? Assuming the vm has network connectivity you can do everything you are doing now.

At work I write Clojure Web apps and such full time for yummly.com as well as writing "cloud" deployment systems (some would call it "devops", though I think that term is worn out by now). At home I play with Clojure, Linux, docker, Amateur Radio, and Cryptography quite a bit. I have been a functional programming enthusiast for many years and get quite a lot of personal satisfaction every time i use anything map-reduce related. I am interested in network security related projects and people that are trying to steer the world away from "the corporate castle" metaphor. If you have or are thinking about such a project I would love to hear from you. note for recruiters: I would like to politely decline any positions you might have with "devops" or "language-name engineer" in the title.

    I have a buildVM running in Fusion that is in need of some more power so I want to move it to an ESX host.

    • What do I need to do to the VM before I move it?
    • where on the ESX host should I put it (local storage here)
    • what should I do to it after its physically on the ESX host?
